Abstract

Low-energy electromagnetic fields pulsed at frequencies of 10-90 Hz significantly increase healing of chronic fracture nonunions in man. These fields are effective at tissue current levels several orders of magnitude lower than those required for transmembrane depolarization of normal cells. We have...
